1 Timothy 5:1-4

Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, and to the younger men as brothers,

to the older women as mothers, and to the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

Honor widows who are actually widows;

but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to show proper respect for their own family and to give back compensation to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
